Intro..

Hello people,

My name is Vaheed and I love food!

Well, who doesn't ? Every person I know loves food. There's nothing better than seeing/feeling the collective excitement on family and friend's faces when going out to eat - or waiting for what's cooking to be ready. lovely.

I got in to cooking 6 years ago. Well, when I say 'got in to' - I mean I didn't have a choice. I moved away from home for work - so had to cook for myself from time to time. When I decided to do something about my ever expanding waist-line 2 and a half years ago, that's when i really studied and understood Foods/ingredients and their properties allot better. I have no doubt that my understanding of certain foods helped me lose the 4.7st (so far) . I've since watched a million cooking programs, bought a million cooking books (well my wife has..hehe) and invested in 2 food businesses :)

From today, and as often as I can, I will be blogging about food I have cooked, watched being cooked and places I've eaten and what I thought of them. I hope people can try my ideas and let me know what they think of them. I am not a professional chef - I'm an aspiring cook. Happy reading and safe cooking.
